A New Jersey Board of Education in Randolph, N.J. removed Columbus Day from their school’s calendar and replaced it with “Indigenous Peoples Day.” They did so to be inclusive, and without publicizing that this change was being contemplated. Two minutes were given to the matter.
When word got out, a furor ensued among the community, including Italian-Americans and members of the Knights of Columbus. Many spoke is protest at the next BoE meeting. Here is one such protest.
“It’s been 529 years since Columbus found a new world. Now, you want to remove his memory, but are not exactly clear why. You reported acting because other places have done so. Really? What is clear is that in the half a millennia that since passed, we’ve lost much of what he did, what he looked like, or even where he’s buried.We all know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Social Media has given a huge megaphone to those who previously stood on soap boxes. They find others and together demand cancellation of whatever. Surrender incites the mob to ever more extreme demands. I speak today because someday, they will come for me.
Unfortunately, seeing Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln -- and more -- get attacked, it doesn’t surprise that Columbus is blamed for Native Americans dying over the next 400 years from diseases like Smallpox because they did not have natural immunity.

I won’t put a kid in public education these days.
If I ever have any more, rest assured they will be home schooled.
The Indians weren’t even here first according to digs in 09, 11, and so forth.
I agree though, we should focus on the good that come from it. There was no kumbaya singing going on before Columbus came. It was savagery, war, torture.
The peaceful west coast Haida Indians were cannibals, but let’s push that under the rug.
They will continue to alienate and create hate and division for the white people until the youth rise up to wipe them out.
It’s been the playbook for a very long time. Spend a lot of time and energy using media etc to demonize a particular group then exterminate them.
I’ve warned about this before, and we see it playing out before our eyes.
I’ve seen this first hand in Bosnia as well.
People on the Right must start getting elected to these positions. Quit sitting on the side-line and make a difference. That is exactly how the Left did it.

Exactly. There are Republicans who would rather complain about RINOS in the Congress than get involved in a school board election or attend a school board meeting.
These destroyers and defilers are Marxists/Maoists, doing what they always do now shielded under a this veneer of “race”, which is Kryptonite to any contrary argument or position. .
The evidence is a mile high that K-12 needs a complete overhaul. Choice, competition, vouchers - The GOP is asleep at the switch.
